Draft:Michigan Notable Book Award

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Michigan Notable Book award is an annual literary award presented by the Library of Michigan for the top 20 most notable books written about Michigan or the Great Lakes, by Michigan residents, or set in Michigan or the Great Lakes.[1][2][3] Winners are decided by a committee of booksellers, librarians, and reviewers from the Library of Michigan.[4]

The program began as "Read Michigan" in 1991 as part of the Michigan week celebrations,[5] and was changed to "Michigan Notable Books" in 2004.[1] To be available for nomination, the book must have been published in the year prior to the award.[3] Books can include and have historically included poetry, fiction, children's books, cookbooks, biographies, and graphic novels, and short story collections.[3] Recipients of the award are selected to best amplify Michigan's cultural heritage.[3]

Winning authors are honored at an annual reception at the Library of Michigan called the 'Night for Notables' and travel to libraries across Michigan on a Notable Books Tour.[2][3] As of 2024, it was sponsored by the Library of Michigan Foundation, Michigan Center for the Book, and Michigan humanities.[3]
